In the word of Douglas Adams “space is big, REALLLLY big”.

He was right think of how big earth is then realize that 99.99% of space is empty. There is plenty of room up there. If I was actually good at geometry I would show how the distance from the land to orbit increases the sphere by an exponential amount but I am not so I’ll just say it as a concept.
